Skin Light Effects Tutorial

This is a tutorial for the effect of bright light on skin.
Shading and highlights are heavily dependent on anatomical knowledge. However this tutorial will hopefully give you a way to make skin tones more realistic.

A little side note,
If you want to bring down the brightness on the highlights, you can duplicate the first color layer, bring it on top of all the others, set the blending mode to multiply, and adjust the opacity as you see fit.

I hope you like this!
